Images of euro coins[edit]
Hello, SoWhy. I have seen that you have edited some articles about euro coins. Could you upload images (the design until 2007) of the 1 euro, 50, 20 and 10 cent coins for the respective articles? I tried but they have been deleted and I don't know how to do it correctly. Thank you so much. Fernan860 (talk) 20:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Fernan860: Usage of such images is not per se problematic, you just need to provide respective explanations why it should be allowed. See File:Common face of two euro coin.png for an example on how to do it. I can take a look at it on the weekend if you don't want to try yourself. Regards SoWhy 18:40, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- @SoWhy: I would appreciate it if you could modify it. I have always problems uploading images. Greetings. Fernan860 (talk) 15:21, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Fernan860: I can take a look. @Explicit: Do you mind me reversing your deletions here to supply the necessary info? Regards SoWhy 13:35, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Not at all, go ahead. ✗plicit 13:37, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II.

- Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
- Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
- Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
- Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
- Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
- Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
- Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed
